What’s Happening?

In July Laing House staff worked with the community to develop a Community Needs Assessment. This assessment provides us with information about where to focus our efforts to match the needs of the community members - expressed by youth, families, and community partners.

Where Are We Now?

In August, Laing House Yarmouth began setting up a space in Pier 1. We hope to establish this as office space for staff, as a place to hold meetings, and as a gathering point for youth to join in some light program that will develop further over time.

As well as occasional programming, the focus is on forming a Youth Team that will meet to develop and test programming and services.

Staff continue to connect with community members to be part of a Family Support Group too,and are working with community partners to align efforts around understanding how to create and support collaborative programming and service offerings that support positive mental health.
